If you meet with FCC personnel to present your point of view regarding a live Commission proceeding, say like 6 GHz, you have an obligation to alert others who share or do not share your point of view of your meeting and the content of your discussions in an ex parte letter. It’s a mandatory obligation and the letter is placed on public record for...
To further bamboozle FCC licensees who may be too busy to recognize paper malware when they see it, Federal Licensing’s “Publication Division” distributes its nefarious propaganda through the USPS now with a bold red stamp marked “Important – FCC license Info Enclosed.” (The data is public information btw.) Even if the FCC had a Publication...
I think it may be about time to form a public safety association just to counter the Public Safety Spectrum Alliance’s (PSSA) goofy narrative, maybe something like the “Public Safety Reality Association” (PSRA) that would provide unbiased information. Making stuff up under the premise that the 4.9 GHz band is in dire need of preservation for...
One would hope that folks who genuinely care about the future of the 4.9 GHz band are not so naïve to believe the rhetoric proffered by the Public Safety Spectrum Alliance (PSSA), an organization created and backed by those who want to ensure that the 4.9 GHz band falls within FirstNet’s (AT&T’s) spectrum sphere. So, PSSA has announced that it...
Always looking for an excuse to bamboozle unsuspecting FCC licensees, the folks located down the street from the FCC in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania have again cranked up the tired warning from their “Publication Division” that it is crucial that licensees have in their possession a copy of the FCC’s rules governing Part 90 operations. They claim...
The 4.9 GHz band is a critical resource for the public safety community, and it should be as well for others who contribute significantly to the public welfare. Under what historic eligibility designations entities may or may not be provided access to the band are necessary discussions but are best left for another day. It’s like arguing that the...

In this week’s Insider, the lead story was entitled “New Filing Fees - One Complicated Surprise,” which explained to members why license renewals can prove to be more complicated than before. Evidently, what was once a single fee obligation may now potentially require an additional fee if the renewal is accompanied by a “major” modification, the...
One would hope that the FCC, when making the difficult determination on how best to launch 4.9 GHz in the future, will rely on facts, but not unsubstantiated facts. Maybe I’m missing something. I’m sorry. I just don’t understand how you can state with a straight face that if the FCC were to “centralize management of the ‘dormant’ 4.9 GHz band...
Does it make sense to anyone that T-Band incumbents who wish to modify their systems must first ensure that they protect a TV station’s analog service area when all TV stations are digital? It makes absolutely no sense at all! That’s why the National Wireless Communications Council (NWCC) filed its petition to update the FCC’s rules so that they...
